Chapter 4, Problem 12QP
a.
Summary Introduction
To explain: Two diseases that are inherited in the autosomal dominant fashion.
Introduction: A disease can be inherited in either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive fashion. The autosomal dominant trait shows the expression in both homozygous dominant (AA) and heterozygous (Aa) conditions. However, the autosomal recessive trait expresses itself only in the homozygous recessive (aa) condition.

Summary Introduction
To explain: Two diseases that are inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion.
Introduction: A disease can be inherited in either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive fashion. The autosomal recessive trait expresses itself only in the homozygous recessive (aa) condition.
